Pirahna Plant is a side scrolling, randomly generated, infinite runner with two button controls. Sort of like an "Impossible Game" meets "Robot Unicorn Attack". How many glowy white boxes can you collect? (A the time of writing, the record is 126 :) )

It was made by a rag tag team of individuals at a Ludum Dare get-together in Jönköping Sweden. The idea began as a rhythm game where you would queue up spells by banging your magic bongos in certain patterns. The "Growing" part of the theme was planned to be implemented through spells that grew flowers and wines to help you get forward.
Quite late in the process we realized that we wouldn't be able to finish this idea with any kind of polish and with just hours left we simplified and cut a lot of it. What was left was Pirahna Plant, not as unique, but very likely a much better game than if we had continued.
I'm very happy with the result, especially as a large percentage of the team hadn't really used Unity or even made games before.
